Well, when I read that Ann had consulted with the brilliant bird "Norman" and he didn't have a clue. I decided that I must consult the three fabulous "fairies". So, I asked fairies Beatrice, Heidi, and Jane--they have supernatural powers you know. They agreed with me that it must be an Alligator. Therefore, I am sticking with my original guess--an Alligator. It's crawling along.

This bookmark, designed by Claudia Meza, was the featured lesson pattern for Georgia's Online class January 17. It is pretty and simple to make. If you have never joined her class, you should give it a try. Happy Tatting.

The mail lady delivered a wonderful package Friday. It was the magnetic button flower bookmark that I ordered from Jane's Etsy shop. I love it!!!! The colors are Yarnplayers Celery and Rhubarb Pie. Rhubarb Pie is my absolute favorite color. Thanks Jane, it works so well and looks lovely in my book. It is one of those things that just makes me happy when I look at it.

I wonder if others have as hard a time choosing the thread colors as I do. I kept changing color combinations, then finally decided on Lizbeth Jewels and Plum. Today as I was about to begin, I changed my mind again and decided to use a solid color for both shuttles. So, now you see the final two. The supposedly dark color is Plum and the other one is Mocha Brown medium.

It has come to my attention that the tatted christmas tree called "Tree of Life" is no where to be found on the Tatting Corner link that is in my January 1 post. I emailed the company and Jennifer was kind enough to respond with the following:"Hi JB, We are not stocking them for the web site since they are too heavy for shipping. If you would like one, we can do a special order. Thank you, Jennifer."

The tree itself retailed for $29.99. According to the shipping label, shipping charges were $17.50. Since their regular shipping charge was $6.25 for this item when they did stock it, perhaps Tatting Corner was losing money. I will say, that in person, the tree is very nice. It is well made and heavy duty. The pictures do not do the tree nor the tatting justice, as it really is very pretty. I was please with it and everyone that visited my home during the holidays was awe struck.
